Ok, to answer my own question: I was completely out of touch with what needed to happen. I assigned the machine the same IP as in Vista, assigned it the same hostname (although I hardly think that matters) and disable the firewall settings in fedora which do not allow Samba to work (through the GUI). Now, I have access to printers, file shares and so on, and all I had to do was input my username/password in the GUI prompts.
